Gion Review

snow festival in Sapporo! i had such a great time there meeting new friends who were also my photographer! i love everything in Hokkaido though the weather is so cold. had a chance to watch live ice sculpturing ! such a memorable experience!

what a beautiful and unique street surrounding village Gion district of Kyoto Japan. It really pretty nice and walking experience here.

Kyoto · Gion · Huajian Road 🌸 Spielberg, Zhang Ziyi, Watanabe Qian, Yang Ziqiong, Gong Li filmed "Memoirs of Geisha" filming location 🎬 Gion Park has a relatively wide range. The Huajian Road is the most core street of them, and it is the only road that can be connected to cars. You can walk to the Baichuan River all the way forward, there are many small streets on both sides, and most of the small wooden buildings are some bistros, small restaurants, and small tea houses, which are very historical and nostalgic. There are not many people during the day, and there may be a little more at night. There are some little girls in kimonos taking pictures, and there are all kinds of skin colors. I came here six years ago when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and I felt a little better than this time.

Gion (祇園) is Kyoto's most famous geisha district, located around Shijo Avenue between Yasaka Shrine in the east and the Kamo River in the west. It is filled with shops, restaurants and ochaya, where geiko and maiko (geiko apprentices) entertain.

I loved visiting Gion; there was many beautiful sites. you'll want to have your camera ready since every place is endearing.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have real-time access to current reviews. However, Gion in Kyoto generally receives positive reviews for its preserved historic charm, traditional architecture, and the opportunity to experience geisha culture. Visitors often appreciate the atmospheric streets, teahouses, and the chance to witness geisha or maiko. Keep in mind that experiences may vary, so checking recent reviews online or travel platforms for the latest insights would provide more accurate and up-to-date information.
